Drawing: Female Figures (How to Draw & Paint/Art Instruction Prog)

An older but worthwhile book for the artist interested in realistic depictions. I purchased this book after buying the same author’s book: Drawing The Living Figure. Creases on fingers, positions of typical fat pads, weight distribution effects, and are just a few examples of the important anatomical details that help an artist to ‘see’.

Many examples were his students’ drawings, with text that was clear and easy to understand.

Drawing the Female Figure covers the most important aspects of the female figure in a variety of poses: anatomical points, proportion, attitudes and weight distribution, rendering, variations and types, foreshortening, and the figure in motion. With the keenest attention to detail, Sheppard demonstrates how to draw each facet of the female anatomy in standing, seated, kneeling, crouching, and reclining positions.

I found this book very difficult to follow because the author uses a lot of hand lettering that can be hard to read.Read more

Though very skilled in the art of figure drawing, the use of his own hand written a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i, etc. for indicating body parts was difficult to follow. It would have been much easier on the eyes to have had these indicators printed out in Times Roman or for that matter just printed instead of written longhand in each example.

Ex: small e looks like an l, etc. This was my only complaint but a huge drawback when tring to follow the text at a rapid pace.

This review is for Drawing the Female Figure by SheppardDrawing the Female Figure. This is a fairly complete guide to the subject of drawing female figures, for artists who already have a general understanding of their materials and media.

Starting with the basics of shading, proportions, and drawing sequence, Sheppard moves right into pointers for rendering a wide range of gestures, poses, and anatomical details. The abundant illustrations include about equal numbers of simple sketches and finished pieces.

While primarily including monochromatic drawings in pencil, ink, charcoal or chalk, Sheppard’s recommendations for realistically portraying the female figure are just as relevant for artists working in acrylic or oil paints.

Other recommended books by the same author include: Anatomy, How to Paint Like the Old Masters, and Bringing Textures to Life.

3.0 out of 5 starsDrawing, not lettering author’s strong suit.

Very well put together and understandable. He explains proportion, and different angles and poses and also how naturally dynamic the female figure is. I would recommend this for artist fairly newer to the craft.
